When a Teen’s Anxiety Starts Running the Show

How to replace cycles of avoidance and accommodation with resiliency

anxious girlanxious girl

Anxiety interventions that work well with adult clients don’t always land the same way with teenagers.

To a teen, these interventions can sometimes feel boring, awkward, or disconnected from what matters most to them.

What’s more, helping a teen manage anxiety often requires more than working with the teen alone. That’s because the adults around them often try to help by accommodating the anxiety or helping them avoid it (which usually makes it stronger).

So how can you tailor your evidence-backed interventions to make them more fun and effective for your teen client?

And beyond that, how can you help the adults in your client’s life respond in ways that shrink anxiety instead of inadvertently fanning the flame?

That’s what you’ll get in this brand-new workshop:

— New Live Workshop —

Working with Anxiety in Teens

Chris Willard, PsyD is an internationally recognized psychologist, teacher, speaker, and author. He’s spent years helping teens navigate anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm during adolescence.

Drawing from evidence-based strategies, he’ll share fun and practical ways to empower teens to manage anxiety before it takes over.

Here’s a glimpse at what you’ll get:

  • How to adapt evidence-backed anxiety interventions to be more effective with teen clients
  • Strategies to help boost a teen client’s engagement in the therapeutic process
  • Practical ways teens can incorporate self-regulating practices into their everyday routines
  • CHOICE: A six-step process for working with anxiety in teens
  • How to address caregivers that unintentionally reinforce patterns of avoidance

Recent estimates suggest that 1 in 3 teens struggle with anxiety. This workshop could provide new and engaging ways to help adolescent clients looking for relief.

The live workshop will take place on Tuesday, June 30 from 12-3pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Chris your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
